Next Steps
Check BP daily till it comes to normal range 120/80. Take medications regularly. Don’t put salt at the table. Whatever is used for cooking is fine, but slowly try to reduce it.
Salt restriction can prevent hypertension not treat it. So now you need to take medicine and slowly get over the salt addition. Now the role for salt restriction is to prevent your kidneys from failing!
